Hi guys, I want to create variable on the fly: for example
See ?assign HTH, Chuck
for (i in 1:10) { cat(paste("VAR",i,sep="")) } Will print VAR1, VAR2 etc up to VAR10. However I want to make these into variables, and then give them a value, for example: vect = c(10:20) for (i in 1:10) { cat(paste("VAR",i,sep="")) = vect[i] } THis doesnt work but I hope it demonstrates what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to produce 10 variables, from VAR1 to VAR10, which have the numbers 11...20 respectively, so I would end up with VAR1 = 11 VAR2 = 12 ... VAR10 = 20 Hope this makes sense!! Does anyone have any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/produce-variable-on-the-fly-tp18943749p18943749.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
